I have an AT&T 6386/SX WGS (16 MHz 80386SX box). It comes with 2 MBytes of RAM, which it calls: 640Kb basic memory 384Kb dedicated memory 1024Kb extended memory During its setup, you can enable/disable shadow RAM for both the BIOS and the EGA/VGA ROM. You can also specify that the remaining dedicated memory can be used as extended memory. I have done so, and during the bootstrap it claims that 256Kb have been moved from dedicated to extended memory. Tom Roberts AT&T Bell Laboratories att!ihlpl!tjrob
